The WORST is the “Earned Income Tax Credit” a farce that is simply redistribution. It is fostering non-achievement and is counter to what taxes should be...paid equally by all citizens.

No, that's not the worst. The earned income credit happens once a year... and when a person gets above a certain level - it stops. Also, it's only paid out to people working.

Social Security Disability is paid EVERY MONTH for every YEAR of a person's life. They get on with a bad temper for a drug problem and they can collect every month for 30 years - 40 years or even 80 years if they live to be a hundred. It never stops. No pesky social workers. And most of them work under the table... so they're not paying taxes on what they do earn.

It's a system with such perverse incentives it would make welfare blush... and it's bankrupting Social Security. And those folks who really are disabled will be dumped on the streets when everything goes broke.

Then again, you know dems will let grandma die before they'll let some criminal drug addict do without his Social Security.
